Register Now: The Science of Science Communication

Climate change...evolution...the obesity crisis...nanotechnology: These are but a few of the scientific topics dominating the world stage today. Yet discourse surrounding these and other science-based issues is often overwhelmed by controversy and conflicting perceptions, hampering understanding and action.

The National Academy of Sciences invites you to attend its upcoming Sackler colloquium on “The Science of Science Communication.” The colloquium, which is the second Sackler colloquium held on this topic, advances a national dialogue about the continuing challenges facing scientists, professional communicators, and the interested public as they seek to exchange information about science.
